Well, aside from having scandalous and salacious thoughts about Janelle Monae and Solange, (Thanks a lot @Osman and @Fr3sh) I'm finishing up packing for Cancun.


Oh yea, watching Real-Juve at a beach bar. It don't get no better.
Her protruding frontal lobe always scared me. Maybe I'm intimidated by women with big brains or some feminist hypothesis like that.

Enjoy Cancun! Sounds awesome. And whatever you do, avoid the treadmill at the Four Seasons, OK?

Nah that's cause she's destined to me.

We'd have a set of triplet girls and 2 boys, 2 dogs, 1 donkey and a couple freshwater dolphins in the lake.

I can't bring myself to tell anyone else, not friends, not families, so I will write it here.

My boyfriend and I, after a 2.5 yr relationship had decided to call it off. I wanted marriage, he wanted the same, however is not able to meet my condition to convert to Islam. I have no strength to entertain any "religion is stupid" argument etc., but why it is important to me is not because it is what is required as a Muslim, it is my own personal choice - I was brought up as one, and would like to live in a household that shared the same values. Religions or not, I think couples need to have common, shared values, especially when it comes to raising children.

Anyway on paper he could do it but he has told me he does not think he can live up to my expectations in practice, and he is not comfortable with the idea of raising mus kids in Australia (he is Australian.) So after many rounds of discussions, we both finally grew a pair and called it off after many, many tears.

It is such a shit feeling having to break up when you both really love each other but I don't think love can sustain a marriage and these issues need to be addressed now before it bites us both in the ass in the future (well HAD a future, not anymore I guess.)

ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH can't stop crying. Farken can't imagine having to start all over again. We are, were, both each other's everything.

Quite clearly that was not the case.

Damn, first and foremost I think you guys did the right thing. To be able to sit and clearly sort out the finer details takes a lot of courage. You might feel like your world is ending right now but both of you have saved each other a lot of heartache. This goes for the kid's too. I feel for you & salute your courage. Hang in there.

Now is not the time to pick on such petty details.

I disagree. It is very much the time. When people are heartbroken because they think they have lost the love of their lives, it is time to remind them that perhaps they have not. She sees it as impossible to raise children with this man. Either she made a mistake and mistook the same religion for sharing the same values or she was right in calling it off. If she was right, she clearly has not lost her everything.

You have a point but I still believe now is not the right time. When people lose the love of their life (present tense) then they are in a really bad place.

They are. And we should acknowledge that. But a little bit of rationality often does wonders for the mind in a period of chaos and emotion.

Figure of speech man. This just happened hours ago give me a break :D

I understand that with everything else in life, this too shall pass. I have seen it many times, where people break up with their so called 'loves of their lives' and then move on to find someone else.

I just never thought I would end up as one, and boy it's painful as hell right now
